Please, everyone, submit a support ticket reporting this as an interface-design problem. There is a Currency tab on the character profile screen that should be used for all Currencies. For example, there are several Currencies in the Warlords of Draenor expansion that correctly use the Currency tab for storage instead of taking up bag space. Blizzard simply needs to correct this oversight and and code Moeda da Sorte do Nats as a Currency instead of a Soulbound item. All Currencies on the Currency tab are effectively Soulbound anyway. Thanks for taking the time to submit a ticket today!

Not quite sure why Blizzard would make this so difficult. People that are collectors have a life too and mine does not include fishing till the 12th of never. I feel it needs to be adjusted and I did make a suggestion. However, I am going to the forums too. People are up in arms about it and with our voices they may listen.

This should be put into the currency tab and taken out of bag inventory like the lesser charms of good fortune were at the start of Mists of Pandaria.

Its a shame that it is almost the same items as rep farming needed for MOP. Should have been a different color mount, hat etc.. hell why not a whole out fit. or have enchants you can get for pvp gear only.

The drop rate for lunkers is now decided by skill level. I was able to get 50 coins from lunkers at a 3.5% drop rate in 6.1 with a 930 skill level. This is up from the 1.3% in the prior patch when I got 100 coins from lunkers.

Comentado por Pernicia

Does anyone know if you can fish up lunkers in your garrison pool in 6.1?

Comentado por daviddukeuk

Fished for 7hr30 (almost) straight. Got 66 lunkers.This means I averaged 1 Lunker every ~6-7 minutes. I was fishing in both open water and pools, across multiple zones, my (buffed) fishing skill was around 950+.

From the looks of all the posts, this was very lucky...OR6.1 brought better drop rates.

Tips:If (like a few commenters suggest) 6.1 improved the odds by using your fishing skill, then you should get the best lure and temporary buffs you can find...

Feromônio de Peixe "Cheiroso" changed in 6.1 to also give You a 100 buff to your fishing skill. It can be applied to Pets, Bodyguards, strangers or Nat Pagle (when he visits you), etc. It also stacks!

Comentado por Pernicia

So I spent all weekend fishing to get the 200 lunkers I needed for the mount and both pets.

It *seems* that pools have a significantly higher lunker rate than fishing outside of pools. After I figured this out, I fished up the coast from Pinchwhistle Gearworks to Shadowmoon Valley where there are unlimited pools (even if they are a bit scattered.) Often times I got my 5 Escorpião do Mar Grandão before my hearth was up.

Granted this takes a bit of patience, but it's not so bad being in your garrison and chatting with trade.

7.0.1 Update - There are a few comments floating around about doing 40 man raid groups and fishing for Cavernícola Quedaluna/Cavernícola Glacial. Not sure what phrase to look at in group finder, but you will need to ensure you have your level 3 fishing shack still. The boss is personal loot meaning you may have a better time of getting coins this way as 40 people fishing for the item it shouldn't take long to get them. This is also a good chance to farm your fishing turtle mounts if you don't already have them as they are in the loot table as well.Thanks to Darthdaditz2 for the comment on here that I wanted to get out to anyone scanning this post. Cycle to filter by patch 7.0.1 to see his original comment

With the addition of flying in 6.2.2, Fishing in pools is more efficient than fishing in open water. See below for data.

With increased drop rates and inclusion of pools, about 8 hours of fishing should net you your mount! (post quests leading up to catching 100 lunkers)

In scanning the comments across the mount, coins, pools, lunkers, and whatever else I could find I came up with some common facts that I wanted to put in a single post along with my current hypothesis on the fastest way to catch 100+ lunkers.

You can catch lunkers anywhere there is fishable water except your Garrison. This includes Tanaan Jungle.

Having bait should not effect your catch rate. However, with a max skill you will always have bait on you, so why not.

The higher your fishing skill, the better the drop rate.

Once you have a level 3 fishing shack, it is a good idea to fish up Manjubinha Glacial for Horde or Carpa Quedaluna for Alliance. The drop rate is about 1% and should take you 20-30 minutes to fish up.

Based on a previous comment, a user stated that the drop rate in pools seemed higher for lunkers. They also noted that the pools off the coast of Spires of Arak respawn at a great rate, and come in decent groups. Because of this comment and the addition of flying I decided to test this theory directly.

-------------------------------------------------------

Hypothesis: With flying, moving from pool to pool makes a more efficient lunker grind than standing in one spot in fishing due to an increased drop rate.

Controls:

A fishing skill of 1045 or greater will be used throughout. If higher or lower, it will be annotated.

Fishing in pools will primarily be conducted on the east coast of Spires of Arak due to the number/respawn rate of pools creating a ideal uptime to fish in pools.

Fishing in 'open waters' will be conducted in Spires of Arak due to the assumed best drop chance of lunkers in this area.

Notes:

This is now complete. If you want specific sessions of fishing (there were about 6) let me know. Total is posted below.

I'm a salty son of a @#$%^, so my ability to get the lure in the pool is undoubtedly better than yours! :)

Time is being measured using Minhoca Suprema and a sprinkling of common sense.

Time does not stop when mobs are encountered or a lack of pools is found.

There was no competition for pools which could reduce the total number of effective casts into pools.

Addon being used is Fishing Buddy to ensure the lure stays on and to track numbers/percentages generally speaking.

I deleted the individual sessions which displayed the progress for fishing. After 6.5 hours total of fishing (that were used for this post(3 hours in pools and 3 hours in open water)) 100 lunkers have been caught and I have my sweet time sink mount. Might do pets, I dunno._________________Bottom line. Fishing in pools IS a higher drop chance and the increased drop rate beats open water fishing even if you have to move between pools. 6.5 hours = 84 lunkers. Appx 7.5-8 hours = 100.

*** Some fishing was done outside of the time/cast measurements. That is why 84 is the total and I have my mount.

Current Conclusion (Updated September 19)I had multiple terrible sessions of RNG when fishing in open water. Fishing in pools was a consistent 5.5-7.5% drop rate for Lunkers. Because of this, once I hit the mid 80's for lunkers, I swapped to just pools and finish inside of an hour (about 35-40 minutes). If someone fishes in only pools off of Spires of Arak I would estimate they would net 100 lunkers in about 6.5 to 7 hours. Fishing in pools is more efficient than fishing in open water.

Adjusted my comment on the Pescador page to reflect the 6.1 changes that:

Nat is no longer required working at the Shack to capture Lunkers.

Lunkers can be caught in pools and without a limit of 5.

The rate seems to be higher than in 6.0 (or is at least affected by pools only containing price fish).

I was unaware of these changes, but this makes Lunker farming by far the best way to get the coins. Garrison fishing is still prefered if you also want the chance at the Riding Turtle, though.

Remember, if you want all of Nat's goodies (which most of us do), you don't need 250 coins. Just buy the 2 pets off the AH - that will save you 100 coins right there. And believe me, you'll earn the gold back a lot faster than the time you would have spent fishing for those extra 100 Lunkers. So, 100 coins for the mount, and just 50 more for the hat and fishing pole.

Comentado por Shauolin

Just thought I would mention this as reading through I cant see it mentioned.

If you don't have the required rep to buy the items you need then you need to stick to farming your Moeda da Sorte do Nat from open water lunkers for now as handing in the lunkers also gives you 350 rep as well as a coin. Farming coins from your garrison gives no rep so you'll be left with the coins you need but not the required rep to buy anything.

So how many lunkers do you need?Not taking into account rep bonuses from Guild Perks or class bonuses:350 rep per hand in, each tier is 8400 worth of rep so 8400/350 = 24 lunkers require for each level of friendship. So 120 lunkers from stranger to best friend.

If your at best friends or have the rep you need then farming coins from your garrison is probably better as they can drop from the Cavernícola Glacial summoned by the Manjubinha Glacial fished up in your garrison and also gives you a chance at the mount and toy etc from them.

You can also go back to MoP and farm rep that way too if lunkers are annoying you.

It'll work like this:Right-click Nat Pagle, spam macro 3 times, and you've handed in 1 lunker.It'll go faster than handing them in manually, and you won't have to download some addon either.Happy fishing!

Comentado por elstohn

Nat couldn't care less what KIND of lunker you bring him, so the fastest way to farm the coins is sea scorpion lunkers offshore between Arak and Shadowmoon. there are TONS of spawning pools here and you never have to go far for another one.

I found a pretty good spot for Fat Sleeper Lunker fishing on the Elemental Plateau in Nagrand.

Standing on ledge with a waterfall to the right and a lille isle with elementals to the left and a periodic water geyser that inactive looks a lot like a Outlands Pure Water school directly in front.

Currently, you can start a raid group in LFG, if you have the Draenor Angler fishing achievement. Get 40 people in your garrison fishing up Cavedwellers. It is all personal loot. In 1 hour, i looted both turtle mounts, 170+ coins and you will loot more fish than you know what to do with. You can mail it to an alt, the garrison mailbox is within range of the kill area, you can loot any cavedwellers you missed while cleaning out your bags. You will also get all the hats, poles and trinkets you ever wanted.

Ive noticed rep is gained with Nat on handing in a Lunker. I'm guessing (new demon hunter alt) that this counts towards the Pandaria Nat too for buying rep items so we don't need to return to Pandaria to complete the dailies there.

For anyone wondering, it looks like the bait you choose to apply is not influential. In one cast I grabbed an enormous Crescent Saberfish and a Fire Ammonite Lunker.

I fished in the garrison for the first 46 coins from the minnow/cavedweller, until I got Riding Turtle (around 1.30-2pm today), then went out to Spires, and fished up and down the coast in Sea Scorpion Schools for the remainder, well up to 82 (4pm) so far, tracking the Lunkers and Coins using the Rarity add-on as it displays them (added together) as attempts at the mount when you get them. of course also using Fishing Buddy for fast casting and luring

Comentado por wowZhenek

Fished for like 10 minnows, got no coins. I guess lunkers are the only way to farm for the coins. Thats rather sad, coz the droprate for lunkers seems to be in a 5-10% ballpark.

I thought I'd share my experience as of 8.0:

I farmed the coins by fishing in Talador pools by flying in circles around the large body of water. It took me about two afternoons of grind, maybe like 10 hours total. Every once in a while I got really lucky and fished up a lunker about every five casts, but I also had dryspells with over 30casts. On average, I'd say I got a lunker every 15-20 casts.

If your main goal is Nat Pagle reputation and the crimson water strider, I'd definitely recommend fishing pools. The other option, fishing up carps at your garrison to farm the cavedweller is much slower. Then again, the garrison option offers you the chance to get some turtles.

Contrary to popular belief, this isn't the most horrible grind. Yes, it still requires quite some time, but there are definitely much worse grinds and fishing can be really relaxing.

Comentado por ExplosiveSheep

Just my 2c if you're here after 8.0 and saving for your Water Strider.

I've spent around 6 hours doing laps of Hellfire Citadel fishing the pools. I've landed around 600 Felmouth Frenzies and 56 Lunkers, so I'm on approx 9% drop rate. It seems pretty consistent with most of the other comments here.
